Hello, I'm Sarah Charney.
A private therapist based in London.
I am an experienced Cognitive Behaviour Therapist and accredited with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Your journey towards healing and self-discovery will happen in a compassionate, self-accepting, and motivating environment. During our time together we will focus on identifying and changing entrenched ways of thinking, which are often learnt in childhood or through negative events that happen later in life. These unhelpful thinking patterns can cause intense emotional disturbance as well as unhelpful behaviours and unhelpful coping strategies. I trained in a clinical NHS setting and worked in a multidisciplinary team alongside psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists. I hold two Master's Degrees, one in Counselling Psychology and one in Human Resource Management (Occupational Psychology) and have experience working with adults in both private, NHS and workplace settings. My extensive background allows me to address a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties, from anxiety and depression to employee motivation and performance. I have also worked with both adults and teenagers (over 16), and I provide a safe and supportive space where insight, self-care and, most importantly, change and growth can be achieved.Specialisms:

How my therapy works
Initial Assessment:
Our journey begins with an initial assessment, where we will explore your story and current difficulties. Following on from this we will collaboratively work out a treatment plan tailored to your needs. My preferred approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), as it is an evidence based psychological treatment that has been shown to be effective for a wide range of mental health conditions.
Therapy Sessions:
Each therapy session is designed to suit your individual needs, and lasts around 60 minutes. Depending on your preferences and requirements, I can offer both short-term structured therapy and longer-term support. Under the umbrella of CBT, my practice draws upon various other therapeutic models, including compassion-focussed therapy, mindfulness, meditation, assertiveness as well as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, (helpful for emotional regulation and self-harming behaviour), acceptance and commitment therapy, .
